This is an all-around metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The viewfinder is divided into 21 metering zones to which all the focusing points are linked for evaluative metering.

After detecting the main subjects size, position, brightness, background, front and back lighting, etc. the camera sets the proper exposure

• During manual focusing, evaluative metering is based on the center focusing point
• If the subject brightness and background light level are very different (there is a strong backlight or spotlight) use partial or spot metering

This mode is effective when the background is much brighter than the subject (due to backlighting, etc). The metering is weighted at the cent covering 8.5% of the viewfinder area

This is for metering a particular part of the subject or scene. The metering is weighted at the center covering 2.4% of the viewfinder area.

The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene

To make focusing point selection faster, the selectable focusing points can be limited to 11 (C.Fn-13-1) or 9 (C.Fn-13-3). When C.Fn-13-1 or C.Fn-13-3 has been set, the manually-selected focusing point is linked to 2.4% spot metering
